From Tashkent to the Solar Institute!
Visit the Solar Science Institute at an altitude of 1100 meters! The location was chosen not by chance: there is clean mountain air, a rarefied atmosphere and three hundred sunny days, allowing you to work all year round. The local guide will introduce you to the scientific developments of the Institute, show the innovative range and reveal the secrets of the solar furnace.
Solar Laboratory in the Mountains
You will go to the Solar Institute, built in the mountains of Uzbekistan in 1987. The first step is to evaluate a giant solar cooker heated by the sun to a temperature of 3,000 degrees.
